ABE/GED Orientation
To enroll in a GED preparation or
ABE Basics Skills course you will need to attend an orientation
which takes approximately two hours. During this time a placement
test will be administered to assess
your reading and math skills. If you are an ESL student, it will
also determine if you qualify for GED/ABE courses. During the
orientation you will also register for classes.
